angels, Dublin, heels, shoes, smile, south side, thoughts, walking on air
While walking o the bus last night I noticed something odd: a pair of heals dangling from a cable.
Now I know that last year there was a project around Dublin called ‘look up and put a sparkle in your step’, all over Dublin there were signs and sparkly heels were draped over cables encouraging Dubliners look up. But the heels I saw yesterday were white, no sparkle and more importantly no sign. So I couldn’t help put wonder what the dangling heels were doing there.
Since it was on the south side of the Liffey maybe it’s a signifier for a particularly posh drug dealer or maybe the sparkle has just worn off. But either way the dangling shoes made me smile, and a thought occurred: maybe even walking on air in hurts when wearing heels, and that is why angles go barefoot!

It seems to be popular here in the States to do that to sneakers (tennis shoes). I’ve often seen a pair high up on a telephone wire even here in Key West where most of us only wear flip-flops most of the year! Have no idea of the reason.
well traditionally hanging shoes over a wire indicates that you can buy drugs in that area – sometimes it means someone died due to drugs – seems to be international
